Hey Reuben & Marcela,
I just wanted to say thanks for a great class - I havent done salsa for 14 years but had tried to find classes that had the right 'vibe', and now I have finally found it with you both! You're both the best teachers I have met in a long time - easy to follow, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere where everyone was enjoying themselves! Thank you so much - I loved it and look forward to next tuesday!

I still remember how much I was impressed with the performances at the latin dance festival. I can learn salsa from those performers who stunned me then, which is amazing! Classes are well-organised and programmed. Teachers are great. Everybody is smiling over there - I'd say I can never find such a great dance school in my hometown, although the population is almost twice as large as Christchurch. If I pick up one thing as a reason that I'd love to live in Christchurch, that is Salsa Latina, a mecca for latin dancers.

Dear Salsa Latina's owner
I would like to thank you for changing my life. If I haven't joined your club, I would have never experienced the joy of dancing. Below is my essay about dancing This is half fiction but the essence remains the same. Dancing touched my life. And I would like to share what I experienced to other people. You are welcome to share this essay in your newsletter. If you think the content does not suit your newsletter and decide not to publish it, that's okay. At least, you know how dance changes my life

Hi, I managed to swap my break to be able to attend your salsa class, but unfortunately not the entire class. It’s really not easy when you work shifts (24/7), to participate on a regular base at any kind of regular activity.
But so far I was lucky and managed to attend most of your classes.
Your classes are a lot of fun and you are both really good teachers (if I may say so). I wish I could come more often. Have an excellent week.
...Kind regards

I came along to the beginner class last night (tuesday 13th jan) at 6.15pm, i really enjoyed it and realised how stiff i felt. It was my first time i had ever danced, but really enjoyed it and wanted to say thank you very much.
I spoke with someone about enquiring about getting some one on one lessons to help improve.
once again, thank you to the teachers, i felt really comfortable, once te class started
...Kind regards

Awesome is the word! You did a brilliant job Reuben, and your gorgeous girls Vikki, Nikal and Marcela. Both Naomi and I felt very welcomed to your lovely pad; the atmoshpere was electric and people were so happy and relaxed.
Even Naomi got asked to dance by a couple of blokes! Although she has never done salsa before she gave it a go and managed to follow the lead of the boys; her Latin lessons with Michael Phillips probably helped and she is musically gifted anyway.
The show was stunning; I don't know about other people but I certainly held my breadth for most of it. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your support which is much appreciated.
Kindest regards

Reuben....you and Vikki dance beautifully!! I have
seen your You tube videos literally hundreds of times.
I have been dancing salsa for about 4 months, and am
barely "getting" it. My timing is perfect
but my partnering needs some help. Have you thought
of making an instructional video? Your style is very
clean and elegant and I would be the first to buy it.
Or perhaps you can do a "step by step" on
You Tube. I\'ve actually contemplated jumping on a
plane and spending a couple weeks in New Zealand to
get some private classes, but its not possible for
now. I know...it sounds crazy, but I really like your
style.
Warm Regards from Orange County California!!!

The teachers at (Danza Latina) Salsa Latina are fantastic, highly
talented and so enthusiastic! I had never danced
before, but within a month I was moving and grooving
like a real salsa dancer. They take you through
the basics then gradually help you into the trickier
stuff. The classes are fun, energetic, friendly
and non-embarrasing for the individual! Highly
recommended. Thanks for a year of great tunes
and moves.

Hi Reuben
Just wanted to say thanks I had the best weekend I have
had in a long time.
It was so much fun and I really enjoyed helping you on
Sunday with your couple and a private lesson. I love
your studio its great. A few people here know I
went for a lesson with you so don’t be surprised
if you don’t get a few more Salsa Groovers getting
in touch with you. I made then all jealous you
see. Hope your having a good week.
